Association of haematological parameters with the various polymorphisms studied in ALL patients (n = 75 samples from 19 subjects)*
Genotype | WBC (×109 l−1) | ANC (×109 l−1) | PLT (×109 l−1) |
---|---|---|---|
TPMT*3C heterozygote | 0.012 | 0.003 | 0.864 |
ITPA C94→A heterozygote | 0.981 | 1.000 | 0.534 |
ITPA IVS2+21A→C mutant† | 0.618 | 0.702 | 0.003 |
Numbers represent P-values for the corresponding association adjusted as per the Bonferroni justification for multiple testing.
Mutant refers to any mutant (homozygote or heterozygote). ALL, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; WBC, white blood cell count; ANC, absolute neutrophil count; PLT, platelet count; TPMT, thiopurine S-methyl transferase; ITPA, inosine triphosphatase.
